Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Ordinance
For Commission Meeting of
November 19th, 2002
First Reading of Ordinance
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission deny the attached Ordinance, passed
on first reading March 7th, 2002, authorizing the City Commission to grant ad valorem tax
exemptions to new and expanding businesses in the Enterprise Zone, being presented at this
time for second reading, and adopt the attached Ordinance for first reading, authorizing the City
Commission to grant ad valorem tax exemptions to new and expanding businesses located in the
Enterprise Zone.
BACKGROUND
On November 6th, 2001 a special municipal election was held for the purpose of submitting to
the electorate a referendum ballot question, (ballot question No. 2), that would authorize the
City Commission of the City of Miami to grant ad valorem tax exemption pursuant to Article
VII, Section 3 of the Florida Constitution. As a result of the electoral approval of the
referendum an Ordinance amending Chapter 56 of the City Code was submitted to the City
Commission on March 7th, 2002 and passed on first reading authorizing the City Commission
to grant such exemptions and the mechanism, terms, and procedures by which exemptions may
be granted.
In addition, the City Commission directed the Manager to form a committee to review and make
recommendations on the function of tax incentives for businesses located within the Enterprise
Zone. The Committee met on several occasion and issued their recommendations, which were
then reviewed by staff and City Commissioners. The outcome of those meetings has been taken
into consideration in drafting the Ordinance.

Since the revisions are of a substantive nature it is necessary to recommend denial of the
Ordinance passed on first reading March 7`h, 2002, and present the revised Ordinance for
first reading at this time.
The following bullets summarizes the Ordinance now being considered for first reading:
The City Commission, at its discretion, may elect to grant the exemption to New and
Expanding Businesses based on presentation of substantive proposals that indicate
serious intent to establish a New or Expanding Business in the Enterprise Zone. The
commitment to grant by the City Commission is contingent on the business
completing the indicated improvements in substantially the same form and extent as
presented.
■ Applications for Tax Exemption will be presented before the City of Mian:ii
Economic Development Finance Authority (Authority) that will recommend or den -y
recommendation for approval to the City Commission.
■ Ordinance includes an appeal process to provide the applicant the option to appeal to
the City Commission should the applicant receive a denial from the Authority.
The Ordinance provides that the applicable term awarded by the City Commission
may be halted upon the occurrence of an event beyond the control of the applicant
that has physically destroyed the business. This provision allows the business 1 year
to rebuild and commence operations to continue to receive the incentive for the
remainder of the term as approved.
■ The Ordinance requires only conceptual plans to minimize cost to the applicant in
meeting the requirement, while providing adequate information to the Authority to
issue a recommendation on the proposed project.
The Ordinance provides a mechanism by which upon the recommendation of the
City of Miami Economic Development Finance Authority, the City Commission,
with no less than a 4/5t' majority vote may elect to waive the job creation
requirement.

The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission

As stated earlier, the proposed Ordinance is the result of several meeting with community
stakeholders and members of the City Commission. Careful consideration has been given to
develop the incentive in a manner that stimulates economic growth within the area of the City of
Miami located in the Enterprise Zone.
The attached revised Ordinance is respectfully submitted for your consideration for first reading.
FISCAL IMPACT
Passing of this Ordinance authorizing the City Commission to grant ad valorem tax exemption to
new and expanding businesses in the Enterprise Zone will directly impact the City's budget. The
impact to the City's budget would be the loss of ad valorem taxes normally collected by the City
on the increased portion of the assessed value during the exemption period of time.
